UPCOMING scenes in EastEnders will see Callum Highway make a startling discovery.
The police officer – played by Tony Clay – starts to grow suspicious of longtime friends during an investigation.
It comes as Callum is still getting to grips with the exit of his husband, Ben Mitchell (Max Bowden).
Ben left Walford in scenes aired earlier this year, as the character was extradited to America.
Scenes yet to air will see Callum turn his attention to investigating Keanu Taylor’s murder further.
Keanu (played by Danny Walters) was killed off in dramatic fashion when Linda Carter (Kellie Bright) stabbed him with a meat thermometer.
The incident occurred as Keanu tried to attack his fiancee and Linda’s best friend, Sharon Watts (Letitia Dean).
Poetically, Linda had once helped save Keanu’s life, working with Martin Fowler, when Keanu originally departed Walford in 2020.
The now-deceased Keanu had learned his supposed son Albie was actually Phil Mitchell’s (Steve McFadden).
As a result, he and Sharon called off their planned wedding while Keanu was left furious.
While Linda was the one who physically committed murder, the killing was also covered up by the other members of The Six (Sharon, Kathy Beale, Stacey Slater, Suki Panesar and Denise Fox).
In present day, Callum’s suspicions are piqued by a comment Linda makes – prompting him to look further.
The police officer and former soldier has a long history with Linda and the Carter family, having been friends with her son Lee (Danny-Boy Hatchard) as a teenager.
In fact, Callum’s debut back in 2018 saw him accidentally shoot Mick Carter (Danny Dyer), having not recognised him at first.
The spoilers also include Sharon convincing Callum to ask Phil to join Ben’s prison call.
However, Sharon abruptly leaves when Callum starts asking questions about Keanu and Dean Wicks, who has been framed for the crime.
